"I have zealously defended the rights of the criminally accused for my entire career. I am dedicated to my family. For those accomplishments I am very proud," Hill wrote in a statement released Thursday. "I have also committed the offense of driving under the influence. For that lapse of good judgment I apologize."

Hill's plea agreement states that he will pay a $465 fine along with more than $1,000 in court costs, said his attorney, Jerry Summers. He also will serve 48 hours in jail and 24 hours of pro bono service in General Sessions Court, Summers said.
